Music and Lyrics
Many of the album's lyrics deals with sexual intercourse. "Dirty Love" includes references to a woman performing zoophilia with a poodle, while "Dinah-Moe Humm" describes a woman who wagers that the narrator can't give her an orgasm, and is ultimately aroused by watching him have sex with her sister. Sexuality, however, is not the sole focus of the album's lyrics, as "I'm The Slime" criticizes television shows, which are described as "vile and pernicious", brainwashing their audiences into eating the processed food advertised in their commercials and shaping their thinking into the pattern required by the government. "Montana" describes moving to Montana to grow dental floss.
The music of Over-Nite Sensation draws from rock, jazz and pop music. "Zomby Woof" has been described as a "heavy metal hybrid of Louis Jordan and Fats Waller".
